MEet J Rayna Smith | PRODUCER & Event Coordinator

We had the good fortune of connecting with J Rayna Smith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi J Rayna, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process for creating my business was “the underdogs”. When I first started working in the entertainment business I was overlooked because I was overweight. I wasn’t taken seriously but I possessed the skill, talent, knowledge and experience to get the job done, therefore I just started my own thing and been successful ever since.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I run an artist develop program, provide services for marketing, advertising, event coordinating, booking agent, public relations but most importantly I’m a writer director and producer.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When my best friend finally comes visit me here in Atlanta, I’m definitely taking her to Atlanta Breakfast because she loves peach cobbler and I been telling her about their stuff French toast. It’s the “A” so I have to let her experience the nightlife scene here.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The people that forced me to make a huge decision to move and those from Philly to Atlanta deserve a shoutout , Shay Star ( baby sister) , Ceaser (Black Ink Crew), and Damian “DJ” Jackson for showing the best southern hospitality and introducing me to The Who’s who in Atlanta.
